One can only speculate as to where things are going and where we fit in. There’s a qualified opinion that believes they’re going to “hell in a handbasket.” I’ve used that phrase in the past without knowing its true meaning or how relative the term was for the time in which we live.
The “handbasket” phrase originated in the 1800’s and identified the practice of capturing the heads of guillotine victims in a basket. The phrase was first used in Winslow Ayer’s book on the American Civil War, and included in the 1867 U.S. Congress’s House Documents: “Speaking of men who had been arrested, a judge said “Some of our very best, and thousands of brave men, at this very moment in Camp Douglas, are our friends.” (https://www.gingersoftware.com/content/phrases/hell-in-a-handbasket/)
Camp Douglas was one of the largest Union Army prisoner-of-war camps for Confederate soldiers taken prisoner during the American Civil War. Today we would call such a place Guantanamo Bay, or GTMO. While having undergone much expansion in anticipation of draining the Swamp, GTMO is not nearly large enough to hold all the trash. It’s been said that several crowded prison barges are now off the coast of Cuba, being used as temporary holding facilities for military tribunals and subsequent execution.
If this is true , and I believe it is, most all of our American Department of Justice needs to be first in line for adjudication.
